A couple of years ago I was in a lot of pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. I could hardly move…read moremy head to the left. My neurologist referred me specifically to Imelda and I have been grateful ever since. Shortly after I started PT at PhysioPartners, I began to experience some pain relief. I was given a comprehensive home routine that I followed. I did not ever think I would be relieved of the neck pain and I am glad that I do not have it often. I would not be honest if I said I was completely pain free. I sometimes get flare ups and the vast majority of the time the home exercises help relieve the pain. Imelda is a McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy clinician. I am grateful for her proficiency in this method because it definitely helps my spine conditions. I recently started physical therapy again. The orthopedic specialist I see told me to work with Imelda again for my spine, lower back pain and nerve pain. PT is helping me quite a bit. I was given new exercises to add to my home routine that are helping me improve and strengthen. From the time I walk through the front door to when I leave, I do not feel rushed. My questions are answered. Imelda confirms that I understand my protocol and instructions. The facility is wonderful and has quite a bit of equipment and classes offered if needed. I am very grateful to Imelda and PhysioPartners. I've shared Imelda's and PhysioPartners' information with friends and colleagues.

After struggling with chronic migraines for over 2 years, I was referred to Imelda McGettigan for…read morephysical therapy. Imelda was the first provider who used a truly holistic approach to my care. While other PTs had only focused on my head and neck, Imelda quickly understood that my scoliosis was connected to my migraines and her treatment plan was comprehensive. Working with her has drastically improved my quality of life and my pain management. She has continued to monitor and modify her treatment plan for me as new issues arise. I've had a very positive experience with Imelda and highly recommend her for physical therapy. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and thorough. I understand my body and triggers much better after working with her. My migraine frequency and scoliosis pain have improved tremendously.

I suffer from back pain and at the recommendation of my primary doctor, started going to Rush PT…read more I assumed that they were part of the Rush hospital system. But after reviewing the Yelp, i now realize it is actually some company called "Novacare". For the last 2 months, I have been going here once a week. The facility is very small and cramped, the equipment is a bit bare. But the main problem is that there is only 1 or 2 actual Physical Therapists in the office at a time, while there are 3-5 patients scheduled for the same time. Each session is about 50-60 minutes long. But the actual time with the PT is really about 15 minutes (as Gina F mentioned in her review). The PT shows you the exercise movements about 2-3 times, then has you do 2-3 reps, makes some corrections, tells you to do 2-3 more sets by yourself, and then wanders off to work with another patient or to type something in the computer without really paying any attention to you. If the PT had already shown you an exercise before, she may just hand you off to a Student/Intern and have them run through the exercise with you. But again, the student also is not paying any attention to you while doing the exercise and is instead busy chatting with each other. Ultimately, my time ended when the PT said, she didn't think PT was working for me. Sometimes, I would realize later that I was doing the exercise wrong a few sessions later, when the actual PT showed it to me again. But I do admit, I didn't do my home exercises everyday, but only 3-4 days a week at home. Conclusion, - I would recommend you look for a better office that has more space so patients don't bump into each other. I would also recommend a PT office that offers One on One PT to patient services instead. I will be trying a different PT office and see if that is more helpful.

I recently completed a 8+ month stint of 2 to 3 time per week PT sessions with Shivani at Elevate…read morePhysical Therapy for chronic lower back issues. I am a veteran of PT rehab stints having had two hip replacements, two rotator cuff surgeries, and one hip labrum tear surgery over the past 25+ years. I believe I know a thing or two about effective PT therapy. Not to take anything away from Athletico, who treated all of my above issues, the Elevate PT team is a significant cut above the typical PT practice. What stands them apart is their deep attentiveness to proper form and function, plus utilizing a frequent change of protocol to both challenge me and keep me motivated. Shivani's goal is not to just get me back to some sort of "status quo", but to make lasting improvements that leaves me better off than before my arrival at her practice. She also taught me many things that I could incorporate on my own to better manage my lower back issues, and those have proven to be quite useful. She pointed out and fixed things wrong with my gait and posture that no one had ever pointed out to me before. Her knowledge and ability to present it in non medical terms is really terrific. All the while doing this with an incredibly friendly and fun demeanor. After all was said and done, I was so impressed with Elevate's practice that I sent my wife there who unfortunately fractured her femur (surgery, rods and screws...the whole works) shortly after I completed my stint. She is working with both Shivani and Maneesha and is thrilled with the treatment she is receiving. What better recommendation could there be than sending a family member?

As a client for the past year+, I couldn't ask for a better lead, Keith, and team to help me with…read morehealing my ankle. It's been quite a journey and their patience, expertise and support has certainly boosted my confidence in physical therapy as a treatment. Before working with Keith, I was subjected to a negligent PT's care, leaving my condition significantly worsened (I could walk/bike then I could barely walk). Turning to Sovereign to help me rehabilitate allowed me to learn how proper and caring physical therapy is done. From evaluation to treatment programs, I'm informed about the mechanical and muscular contributors to my injury and understand my at-home practices so that I actually do them. Keith is an incredible hands-on PT who makes the experience of PT accessible and fun for clients. His team is just as attentive!

If you want to treated like a number and attended to by therapists who may or may not have much…read moreexperience and are simultaneously treating 3 patients, then go to one of the big physical therapy groups in the city (ATI, Athletico, etc.). If you'd rather be treated my therapists who have the time to treat you and the experience to know which techniques are going to move the needle, Sovereign Rehab is the spot. As someone who had his first knee surgery in high school and has had several since, I've been exposed to my fair share of PTs. Keith and his team are the best I've been around. They employ all the latest techniques and take a thoughtful approach to each patient's treatment. Critically, they truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to help them get back to doing the things they want do. Individual results will depend on whether the patient does their part and is consistent with the exercises, but I cannot recommend Sovereign Rehabilitation strongly enough for providing the tools to get back to 100%!

I am so lucky to have found Meredith and Lakeshore PT. She has helped me for almost 3 months…read morethrough a pretty serious herniated disc in my lower back and the bonuses: sciatica and plantar fasciitis. Not only has she taught me many ways to build back up my strength, but shared a ton of new ideas to strengthen my core, etc. to manage this back injury moving forward. Via in person, emails AND print outs. Meredith makes my sessions fly by bc she chats with me and kept up a positive attitude of how I WILL get back to being my active self...but that I needed to learn that slow and steady really is the way to do it. I cannot say enough great things - you must go see her. You will not be disappointed and it will be so worth your time and money/insurance co-pay. Joni and Sally are also amazing! They were super communicative, helpful and patient with my insurance paperwork (read: delays) and were always rooting for me to get better. They also proactively helped me schedule my preferred appointment times. Wonderful experience for my first time doing PT!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

I came in here a couple of months ago in crippling pain and almost unable to walk. Having had hip…read moreand knee issues in the past, I chalked it up to overuse/weak joints. Meredith, the PT, was efficient and able to see me right away. At one of the sessions, she used an ultrasound machine that I was almost tempted to buy for my own home, it was that good. The exercises were well explained and I like having the emailed video that I can turn to as a refresher. The main draws of this location, at least for me, are proximity (walking/limping distance from my condo) and the relative privacy of the treatment rooms. Postscript: I later found out that the source of my pain was a fractured femoral neck. Hard to believe that I had been walking around on it for almost a month, not to mention doing my assigned exercises faithfully. The PT needed to be tabled in favor of more aggressive treatment (surgery and pinning). Here I will note that Meredith made a point of calling me after my surgery, to see how everything was going. Considering that we had only had a few sessions before I received my diagnosis, I would definitely say that this level of caring and concern went above and beyond. If I need physical therapy in the future, I will definitely be including this place on my short list of options, and do not hesitate to recommend it to either the dedicated athlete or weekend warrior in need of strengthening and rehabilitation.

All of the staff members are open and friendly. Of particular note is Luigi, the owner. He is clearly genuinely concerned that every TFI client has an excellent experience.

I left work early (over an hour from the North suburbs to the north side of Chicago) to make the appointment at FIT institute at 6:30 tonight and I got a call from them, around 6:15, asking if I'm running late to my appointment at 6pm... I called them back, explaining that I was on the way and my appointment was for 6:30, per my first interaction. They put me on hold for a minute and then came back and said that no, they were so sorry, but they didn't have a 'therapist on site' for an appointment starting at 6:30 tonight and would love to reschedule.
